I honestly can't figure out why I placed this on my website and didn't blog about it? I think the computer gremlins got hungry and ate the blog post!! I don't blame them, this slow cooker recipe is so easy and the results are superb! This was one of the very first recipes I shared on my Facebook page when I started it. It remains one of the most viewed and most popular. I beg you to give this a try - you won't regret it. I usually roast a mix of root vegetables and potatoes on a sheet pan (rolled in a little olive oil & sprinkled with salt & pepper) to serve with this roast. ~Enjoy! Diane

Place meat in slowcooker, spread soup over roast.Sprinkle Lipton onion mix over entire roast, pour coke (not diet) down around all and cover. Cook High 6-8 Hours or Low 10-12 Hours.The cola really enhances the beef flavor and breaks down the meat into fall apart goodness!! This couldn't have been easier or better tasting! didn't even have to thicken the "gravy" because it was SO tasty as is!!!! I usually end up adjusting recipes by adding things - I wanted to try this "as is" first - and "as is" it's amazing!Using cream of mushroom soup and *Adding fresh mushrooms in the last 20-30 mins of cooking time would be wonderful (sadly, I am allergic to them)

Those darn gremlins, I've had issues with them also. :) And shoot, I just put a pot roast in the oven for dinner tonight. Wish I would have seen this, I would have run to the store for some coke. Next time.

LOL I will be making this tomorrow as I bought my roast too late in the day today and yes, I usually have to always remember to buy a Coke as we don't normally drink full blown soda. Hope you like it ;)

Use coke to put in a cookie recipe and cook meat w/ as well. I thought coke acts like a meat tenderizer?

yes, the Coke does act like a tenderizer, breaks down the fats in the meats and any sinew
